Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Downvoting a post ainβt brigading π
Is there not an option in Lemmy to make a community private, or exclude it from /all?
That sounds like what you need if you canβt handle general users disagreeing with you.
I will start working on private communities soon.
We appreciate your work π«‘
There is no option to hide a community from All at the moment.
Private communities exist, but require to add every member as a mod, unrealistic for anything with more than a few members.
Downvoting a post can be brigading. Voting posts up or down is indeed the primary thing that brigades do.
I did not say that this was an example of brigading. I don't know that. I pointed out that the views you are sharing imply that you would also be against taking action against brigading.
Then tools should be built against brigading. For example, observing high quantity downvotes per unit time, as compared to the general traffic on the post. Then scrubbing or smoothing the votes as such.
Sorry you're having trouble following this. It's honestly not very complicated. I think if you read the thread from the beginning with an open mind instead of preconceived biases, you will find it easier to follow.
